Petitioner: Mylords may have page 66, what I’m attempting to bring to my lords attention is that when they had not entertained our plea seeking transfer to Delhi.
State counsel; after this we had passed another order where we said we will transfer you to Aligarh or Kasganj.
State counsel: this issue is pending and very much alive. The high court was not happy with our stand.
State counsel reads high court order.
Advocate Mehmood Pracha: kindly hear me my lords.
Court: what we propose to do is that we will say govt order is subject matter to the high court. High court will take it over.

This order is also the subject matter of proceedings before the High Court. The High Court has called for a response from the Government regarding the correctness of the order, on the basis of the challenge raised by the petitioner booked in: Order

Order: Secondly, the subsequent order is presently under review before the High Court. We request the High Court to take up the challenge to the said order and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.
Order: The Court accordingly disposed of the matter and requested the High Court to dispose of the application expeditiously.
